A great test page for the bug it is right on CentOS.org. If you go to...

http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter

...and choose one of the three "Published Issues" links of the CentOS
Pulse it'll crash every time (if you've got the problem). When I had
Firefox 3.5 on my computer it either rebooted (or sometimes logged
out) -- but it works fine under 3.0.12. I had my brother test it, and
it crashed for him, too. The only other links I had trouble when using
Firefox 3.5 were on eBay.

I have no idea what's on these pages that would trigger this problem.
